• Visual Studio Express Editions SQL database connection

• Visual Studio Express Editions Help! Can't open projects or start new ones.

  I'm trying to set up VC++ Express 2005 on my laptop. The first time I installed it, everything worked fine. I could load the project I was working on and run it in debug mode. However, then I made the "mistake" of trying to open the project from another user account (both are at administrator level) on the same laptop. VC++ immediately crashed on me. Going back to the user account that I installed VC++ with made no difference. Now I can't: 1. Open an existing project. (It will crash VC++.) 2. Start a new project. (It will say "project creation failed.") I had the following installed, in this order: 1. Visual C++ Express 2005 2. Windows Platform SDK 3. GLUT So far, I've tried to unstall everything in the opposite order a ...Show All

• Windows Forms Is Form Height limited?

  Why isn't possible set Height value for windows form greater than 1044. When I write bigger value is automatically repaired on 1044. Thank's for any idea. Yes I thought that it also depends on the screen solution but I guess that if you read values heigher than the height I was wrong. Maybe you could override the form's WndProc and capture the WM_NCCALCSIZE message and somehow change the bounds of the form but I don't know if this will work. ...Show All

• Community Chat Zune and the iPod

  I've been following the Zune announcements fairly closely here at work. If you follow my blog, you'll see that I'm pretty passionate about media technologies, and recently went through the pain of migrating away from iPod/iTunes and onto Yahoo Music/Gigabeat S (Portable Media Center). Here the blog category where I talk about it: http://blogs.msdn.com/joemorel/archive/category/13772.aspx Now Zune is in the mix. It looks pretty neat, but I'm not sure if people are really going to go for the whole WiFi thing. I'm just not sure that I want to listen to the same music as the person sitting next to me on the bus. What do you think well remember, some of it may be based on customer requirements having a Wifi is a cool option ...Show All

By doing so, you have to parse the response text to filter out the table data to be stored in a spreadsheet (or to be displayed on your own web site). Usually th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Publish Error

  Iam facing a strange error using the VS 2005 publish feature. I have a team project with a solution that has also a branch of it. The solutions contains a web site project and also multiple project files. I have been publishing my site using the "Publish Web Site..." available on the menu for the project file. It has been working fine until recently. Now, when publishing the web site of the branched solution, I get a message "publish succeeded" but the target directory is EMPTY. If files exists in the target directory, it deletes all of the files in the target location, but then does not do anything else. This works fine with the root/parent solution.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office PInvokeStackImbalance caused by Smart Tag and Word 2007 Addin

  I have been getting the following error message when debugging my Word 2007 addin together with a custom application level Smart Tag: PInvokeStackImbalance was detected Message: A call to PInvoke function 'WRDomainSetup!WRDomainSetup.EverettPolicy::GetRequestedRuntimeInfo' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature. When I remove the smart tag from the registry, the error goes away. Disabling the smart tag does NOT make the error go away. So I tried simplifying things by generating a clean Word 2007 addin and a clean Smart Tag (that d ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SOAP authentication failed

  Hi, I have browsed this forum, and I found similar question, but none of the solutions have worked for me, so maybe I am doing something silly. However, let me try to describe what I am doing (I am fairly new to wcf programming). I managed to reproduce this same problem with the selfhost application (an example on the SDK, with the ICalculator). The problem manifests itself only when the client and the service aren't running in the same domain. If they are in the same domain (on different machines), everything runs fine. If I try to run the service inside a specific domain, and the client outside (say, just logged in locally into the machine), I get the following: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ServiceModel.Security.Sec ...Show All

• Visual Studio HTTP Checkout - Possible Timeout Anomaly

  My team is encountering a strange problem when trying to checkin or add larger files to VSS 2005 via HTTP or HTTPS. The resulting error is always the dreaded: There was a failure uploading the URL.... although I don't believe that error indicates what the actual issue is. I've read what I think to be every post on the subject here and elsewhere on the web, and no situation matches exactly (others are simply an easy timeout misconfig or a permissions issue and nothing can be checked in.) It's not a permissions issue as all team members can checkin smaller files and large projects that contain small files-- as long as the file being checked in doesn't take more than 30-60 seconds (see below.) It's not a typical HTTP "tim ...Show All
